& still the longest tank on tank kill in history , 5100m , Feb 1991 ....RSDG for the win !

Mahoosive BUFF ! I don't envy you painting it , did a friend's 1/72 Globemaster once as a favour , airbrush compressor was red hot half way through .

Didn't fancy a try with the Kotare one ? I'd have been tempted for the comparison ?

I buy the ones that come with built in distress flares , the also float .

So , this year I've decided to work my stash down to 10 ....yes just ten boxes ...instead of the 20 that is my norm . Ten is about a years worth of modelling unless I get really bored , it varies between 10/20 completions a year dependant on other projects, motorbikes , cars etc. Too many models bought on a whim , or because they were on offer, or for "nostalgia" , or because I had an bright idea at 3 in the morning 💡only to be 'Bayed 6 months later. I'm also a bit bored doing similar subjects repetitively . I've also set myself the task of one in - one out , so a bit like my yoof ; when you finished one and then thought about the next purchase , unless it was Christmas in which case you might have a few hanging around . I know this is anathema to the SABLE people , or "got to get them all" collectors, and that's fine if that's your thing , I'm not looking to convert or argue with anyone, just sharing my own journey . FYI - On my shelf of finished models, is equally sparse , I only keep what I think of as 'best of the best' for me with the odd exception, so that's 14 in total , make something better ?..one goes . Last year I went with 'no tooling from 19XX' and mostly stuck to it & also 'no Airflups, Miniart or Revell' for ...reasons . I'll let you know how it went next January if ya bothered. Laterz PW

Why oh why do I watch Plasmo and decide it might be worth doing Braille stuff again .....?????💩 Especially with fiddly nice Eduard PE ....no no no , it doesn't even sell very well after all that effort . So , tellytubby bye byes .

You're clearly proving "Airfix is not the end " . Our pals with whom we spent the NYE , are off to see his tour in July ...only a big bit jealous . Still love Murder Ballads 30 years on . ......and is that some neat subtle chipping going on there with that there odourless thinners ?

Woot , the squizz didn't win . Some nice gnarly weathering there

Nice precise build and paint job 👍

Tis naught but ascratch my lord ! annoying but surely fixable Rob 😀

Resinzilla 😳

I've been drinking the Rinaldi Koolaid for a while now , just received the first of two books defining reductive chipping TG/01 and oil paint rendering TG/02 ( due March)

Both of those are beautiful examples of engineering , I'm jealous !

When are the flappers arriving ?

I’m so sorry , I can’t imagine your pain , no parent should ever bury their child .

Wow, you pulled that one out of thebag there ! Looks gorgeous !

Nice one John , found mine took a huge amount of nose weight not to be a tail sitter , clearly you nailed that as well as the weathering .👍

Where the scrap yards are long out of spares, ones you can find have all the lugs broken off and cost £1000's...we can't all afford new cars Martin , some of us still have to run these old clankers ...🤣 Gratuitous glamour shot. ....
